Estimated consequences

Affected area: about 107 km² (accumulated 375 m satellite pixels — order of magnitude; the actually burnt area may differ).
Intensity: peak of 183.3 MW on a single detection; the fire is currently receding (comparing the last two 6-hour periods).
Smoke: current PM2.5 fine particles over the area: loading… (CAMS / Copernicus). Above 55 µg/m³, air is considered unhealthy.
Observed activity: from 22/10 11:49 UTC to 24/10 00:41 UTC (48-hour rolling window).
